Get your own EasyCAP for Windows, Linux and yes, the Mac here. Get the older version of the EasyCAP from Amazon here.Update! There’s a piece of software out there called the EasyCap Viewer. It works great with the original EZCap Viewer DC60 for Mac OSX. So save yourself some money and get the original EasyCap and download the free EasyCap. EasyCap Viewer For PC can be easily installed and used on a desktop computer or laptop running Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and a Macbook, iMac running Mac OS X. EASYCAP DC60 MAC OS DRIVER - Thanks for sharing this post and keep writing.
I have two Linux systems, one running Debian testing (3.12 kernel) and one running Mint 16 Cinnamon (3.11 kernel). I have a cheap EasyCAP USB video capture device. These exist in various clones with different chips in them; mine is one of the ones which lsusb reports as Bus XXX Device XXX: ID 1b71:3002 (Manufacturer: Fushicai; Product: usbtv007). There is a kernel module called usbtv which is the driver for this device.
- Easy Capture 4 Channel Usb Dvr; I'm trying to capture the camera feed from an EasyCap 4 Channel USB DVR Device that i got recently and i have bought a super Mimi Monochrome/Color Camera and connected it to the DVR Device and managed to correctly setup the device with the driver 'SMI Grabber' and installed the software that comes with the Device 'SuperViewer'.
- The EasyCAP USB converter uses a UTV007 chip, which is supported by Linux out-of-the-box. (Who said that installing drivers is a pain in Linux???) After plugging the converter into an USB slot, you should get two additional devices: A video device called “usbtv”.
Basically, my problem is that it works on Debian but apparently not in Mint. When I plug it in to either system, /dev/video0 is created. If I Open Capture Device in vlc and choose /dev/video0, the composite video input appears as expected on Debian, but in Mint, vlc just stops responding (and cannot even be killed from a different tty) and the computer cannot be shut down -- it hangs without ever powering off. Has anyone had any success getting an EasyCAP or other device driven by the usbtv module to work in Mint?
The 3.12 kernel does have a slightly newer version of usbtv.ko (the kernel module for usbtv), but in fact I have manually compiled the latest version from the source at https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kerne ... /usb/usbtv and although this gives access to the newer features (e.g. PAL support, which I need) under Debian, it still crashes my Mint system as before.
I don't know much about kernel modules and I'm brand new to Mint, so would really appreciate any help on this! On Debian, when modprobe loads the usbtv module, the following dependency modules are loaded:
and modinfo videodev reports:
Code: Select all
But in Mint, neither media nor i2c-core get loaded -- indeed, neither media.ko nor i2c-core.ko exist, and modinfo for videodev says it has no dependencies! Could this be related to the problem? Surely a module is either needed or it isn't -- how can it be a dependency under Debian but not Mint? And if the missing modules are causing the problem, where are they in Mint?Usbtv007 Mac
